Will raffle my hood. Indy drivers autographed.
Photos added (link) on page 2.
I cant go into all the details here, it is on the www.wingedwarrior.org site. I am having the kids at the Local Childrens hospital sign my fenders (Honarary co-pilots), and am doing that at the INDY 500 race party. I will have drivers and owners of the IRL sign the hood, and unbolt it, and give it to the highest bidder after the day of racing June 3rd. Signing is May 11th, I can post who signed it if you want me too (if there is interest). Just doing what I can for the sick kids in the Hospital!!

Thanks Smoked, you are a great guy by my standards. Sure those kids see you as a hero. You prolly changed some lives for those children, ether it be future speeding tickets or glimmering hope to the future, power to you.

I myself like to donate little toy evos to orphans. Sometimes they come in a box set with other sporty cars, so I let them pick what they want. They usually go for the evo out of the bunch, its gotta be the big wing...

Here is what I wrote after the signing. It was moving. NX Express "donated" 100 matchboxes for us to hand out, and we did, ALL Gone. There was an "evo" and something else. they tended to grab up the evos first!!
Just got back from the signing at Riley, it was fun, and humbling at the same time. I did get Matsura/Robbie Buhl/Buddy Lazier/Scott Sharp to sign the hood, pictures up later, and I talked a while to all of them, it was cool. They thought the idea, and the event sounded great!! I asked Buddy Lazier if he could spell "Castroneves", and if he could, sign his name also!!
When Robbie Buhl signed the car, I looked at the signature and said "your not Sam Hornish!!" oh the humor. and to those Team USA clowns that would interject when some adult asked "how fast does it go?" (referring to my Evo) you would hear a TEAM USA member say "Uphill or Downhill?" We all had a great time. NO TV coverage there, thats fine.
What I want to say to you is this, my car has the fenders full, some of the front end, and some of the hood. The kids came out, "cheerfully" signed the car, they appreciated it, some of the parents and grandparents signed the car, as their child/grandchild was too sick to come down and sign it, but the parent knew it was the "right thing to do".
A family of 4 came out, with "big brother" in the wheelchair, flanked by his family members, and he signed the car, with a smile on his face, and all the tubes, wires and machines which tend to be attached to sick children. Big brother signed the fender, added a smiley face, and the rest of the family signed around his signature. The mom was excited about coming to the event and watching her "son" race with me. I found out later, he doesnt have much time left on this earth. I commend the family for being so strong, and close, I dont know if I could do it. There are lots of stories like this, and it puts stuff in prespective for sure. If you are worried about your bills, your petty personal problems, PLEASE STOP. At least you have your health. Tough times will pass for us, relax and smile. Things could be worse for sure.
The parents came out and took pictures of where they signed their sick childs name, so they can go up to the Hospital room, and show them, and maybe get a smile out of them, and make them feel "special". I almost feel like giving the fenders to Riley and the cheer guild, as mementos. It has become like a "shrine" to the parents. I dont know, it was just humbling, and when I think I have problems, all I have to do is look at those signatures to realize "I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM" Lets get out there and whoop up some dust for them, and let them know we are doing this for them!
sorry about the long rant.
